NPR Cumberbatch and his wife, Sophie Hunter, were riding in an Uber when the 41-year-old actor spotted the attempted mugging on Marylebone High Street and jumped out of the vehicle. Four muggers were attacking a Deliveroo cyclist and attempting to steal his bicycle. According to witnesses, Cumberbatch screamed at the attackers and then dragged them off of the victim. Uber driver Manuel Dias, 53, told The Sun, “I was taking Benedict and his wife to a club — but I didn’t know it was him at first.” “I went to turn down into Marylebone High Street and we saw four guys were pushing around a Deliveroo cyclist. My passenger jumped out, ran over and pulled the men away. They turned towards him and things looked like they were getting worse, so I joined in. He stood there instructing them in the street, shouting, ‘Leave him alone.’ ” “Then it all got a bit surreal. Here was Sherlock Holmes fighting off four attackers just round the corner from Baker Street,” Dias continued. “I had hold of one lad and Benedict another. He seemed to know exactly what he was doing. He was very brave. He did most of it, to be honest. They tried to hit him, but he defended himself and pushed them away. He wasn’t injured. Then I think they also recognized it was Benedict and ran away.” After the attackers left, Dias said Cumberbatch asked how the cyclist was. When he said, ” ‘I’m OK,’ Benedict just hugged him.” The Metropolitan Police released a statement about an incident that took place in November: “One of the males attempted to grab the victim’s cycle … He was then punched in the face, struck on the head and hit with his helmet.” “The cyclist was lucky; Benedict’s a superhero,” Dias said. “Benedict was courageous, brave and selfless. If he hadn’t stepped in, the cyclist could have been seriously injured.”

Not all heros wear capes but some of them actually do in fact wear capes. Benedict Cumberbatch, better known as Dr. Strange not Sherlock Holmes, just reacted like the master of the mystic arts when he saw a man on bike getting assaulted by 4 cowards. He thought he was going to the club with his wife but duty called and the good Dr. sprung into action and took care of the scum of London. As per the Uber driver who was driving Strange

He seemed to know exactly what he was doing.

Of course Dr. Strange knew what he was doing. The man can travel through time so it’s pretty obvious he knew how to dodge all of their punches because I’m sure he checked all 14,605,000 scenarios and saw the one where he and the Uber driver come out on top. What’s surprising is that he didn’t cast any spells on them or used the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak on them. I realize he wasn’t squaring off against Thanos but if it were me, I would of showed off a little bit and whipped out some powers. But Strange doesn’t do these kind of things for notoriety. He didn’t have to use his greatest weapon. If he didn’t step in and take care of these dirt bags the consequences could have been hitherto undreamt of.
